Yesterday I attended an all-day leadership conference at the church where I work. Dread is a strong word, but I was certainly not looking forward to giving up my entire Saturday (and then, of course, Sunday) to be on my job site. I will say that I am so thankful for the day and all it brought, [Continue Reading…]

Working at church in Early Childhood, I spend all week preparing for Sunday mornings, when the campus is flooded with little smiles and sticky hands and tiny shoes. My heart melts as young families bustle through the doors, a bit overwhelmed and frazzled as they rush to check their kids in, get them to the [Continue Reading…]

Life doesn’t discriminate. It throws it all at us all. There will be sorrow. Disappointment. Anger. Resentment. Sometimes it’s what could have been or what was. It’s hurt, it’s pain, it’s knowing you’re wrong. It’s wishing to go back, it’s wishing to fast forward…. …and sometimes it’s just joy. I awoke this morning in a [Continue Reading…]

This past Tuesday began like every other Tuesday for the past six months, except for a few extra steps in my morning routine thanks to my new ball of fur, Charley. I woke up, took Charley out, put on an outfit and makeup, straightened up the apartment, and checked my email before I headed out [Continue Reading…]

I can’t believe that I’m already another year older. I’m even more surprised (albeit extremely relieved) that no one has made me sit awkwardly while they sing Happy Birthday to me yet…yet is the key word here…my friends know me…it will happen for the sake of my discomfort alone. This past year was the most [Continue Reading…]

I walk into my apartment, tripping over two pairs of shoes. Looking around, I sigh at the random piles of laundry haphazardly cluttering my carpeted floor. Saturday’s outfit in the corner, Sunday’s outfit by the sofa. When did I even wear those jeans? There’s a half-constructed Ikea dresser laying in the middle of the living room, [Continue Reading…]

It was January of 2011. I was sick. Sick with illness that wouldn’t go away and sick with a heartache that wouldn’t get better. I was at a low point, for which I am now very thankful for, because I experienced God holding me in a way I have experienced few times in my life. [Continue Reading…]

I’ve talked about my obsession with candles before. I just love ’em. So when I moved to Austin and a wonderful family friend gifted me a delightful candle as a housewarming gift (ha-no pun intended), I was thrilled. (Erin, if you’re reading this, thank you!) I’ve had a lot of candles and a lot of [Continue Reading…]

Thank you for your kindness and understanding in allowing me to take the past several weeks off from blogging. I needed to rest. I arrived home from a weekend away Sunday evening with a stiff back and cramped legs. After carrying my overnight bag into my apartment and dumping its contents on to the tan [Continue Reading…]

I’m terrible at letting things go. When I’m hurt, I’m usually really hurt, and when I’m disappointed, sad, or angry, I’m usually really disappointed, sad, or angry. As a person, I am very emotionally sensitive and can almost always voice exactly how I’m feeling. If I don’t know you, I’ll probably just respond with an [Continue Reading…]
